We're out in TN right now! It was a record rainfall month for TN in March, we watched the CRAZY storms that went through Nashville the first night we were down here. It was awesome. 80* one day, 19* in the mountains today, and should be 60*+ again before we head home. The scenery down here is amazing. The diversity of living conditions is striking... not sure how else to describe it.
The inlaws are looking to move out here this year or early next. Amazing what you can get down here for little to nothing, middle of the road price, or by spending a bit more, you can get a 40 acre+ chunk of land and a pretty damn amazing house. Look for just the right thing, and you'll get outbuildings an amazing house, mountain views and running water through the property for <$300k.
